[Security] Bump qs from 0.6.6 to 6.10.0

[dependabot-preview]

Bumps qs from 0.6.6 to 6.10.0. This update includes security fixes.

Vulnerabilities fixed

Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.

NPM qs is vulnerable to DoS the web framework using ljharb's qs module older than v6.3.2, v6.2.3, v6.1.2, and v6.0.4 is vulnerable to a DoS. A malicious user can send a evil request to cause the web framework crash.

Affected versions: < 6.0.4

Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.

Moderate severity vulnerability that affects qs The qs module before 1.0.0 does not have an option or default for specifying object depth and when parsing a string representing a deeply nested object will block the event loop for long periods of time. An attacker could leverage this to cause a temporary denial-of-service condition, for example, in a web application, other requests would not be processed while this blocking is occurring.

Affected versions: < 1.0.0

Sourced from The Node Security Working Group.

Denial-of-Service Memory Exhaustion The qs module has the ability to create sparse arrays during parsing. By specifying a high index it is possible to create a large array that will eventually take up all the allocated memory of the running process, resulting in a crash.

Affected versions: <1.0.0

Denial-of-Service Extended Event Loop Blocking The qs module does not have an option or default for specifying object depth and when parsing a string representing a deeply nested object will block the event loop for long periods of time. An attacker could leverage this to cause a temporary denial-of-service condition, for example, in a web application, other requests would not be processed while this blocking is occurring.

Affected versions: <1.0.0
